CORONATION AND UNITY

'Greetings, fellow lucians and people of Niflheim. Hope you all are ready for the evening to begin. I'm Ren and will be your host for this magnificent celebration and keep you updated with the event. The day of Coronation and a Peace treaty we have been long awaiting for has arrived. Today on Eos, everyone from friends to foes will witness the unity of two rivalled Nation.'

Here in the Capital city Insomnia, what wait now was the arrival of Royals from Niflheim Empire. Many of Royal families, Warlords, Political leaders were to be attending the occasion and the lack of security was far from thinking.

People chanted and cherished the moment. When they walked the pavement in awe, various activity they did to make it memorable. Riding chocobo in the Parks, families gathering around and children playing together. Reporters from several media talking to the random citizen.

Busy streets with gathering of foreigners from the other nations. Mostly Royal families acquaintance to Late King Regis.

Compared to the nobles, Warlords arrived in their grand airships hovering above the citadel landing pad.

Such appearance from the warlords of Empire was breathtaking.

The decoration, singing and summoning of Priest and Bishops.

Glaives staying on guard with Magitek Protocols. Sky occupied by large fleets. The whole scenario was nothing like ever seen before.

Skyscrapers coated with banners of Lucis symbol radiating it's magnificent black color and tainted with the logo of its long lived Nation. The sounds resonating throughout the streets and gathering of crowds here and there enjoying and making the evening more lively.

In Citadel Royals were greeted by servants and walked into the majestic halls where other guest gathered.

Served with variety of drinks and refreshments all in order to relieve the guest from exhaustion more over to present them active in presence of the His Highness.

Nobles who took time from their busy schedule to pay respect to his Highness for all he could do for his people even after facing all those threat which once loomed over the lands was covered with new hope and a chance to befriend with the neighbour country.

Everyone were waiting for the Messiah, their new King 'Noctis Lucis Caelum. '

Who waited in silence for the arrival of emperor of the Niflheim himself with his companion and lord of the council.

'Noctis!, you alright?' A concerned Prompto asked out of curiosity Noctis hinted through undeniable emotion his Stoic face denied to express.

'Never been so!' Sighing and gazing at the streets and building all around. The sounds that filled up the capital with enthusiasm was a comforting and pleasing music to Noctis heart.

'This is beautiful Prompto. I never thought we did get to see the Kingdom like this before.'

'You right Noct. But you need to cheer up than cry from joy. People need their King to be strong just like your father who ruled over them. I believe you will do great as a King. Me, Gladio and Iggy are all here for you.'

'Thanks Prompto. For everything. I appreciate it.'

'Aww Man, don't sugar coat me lot. Does not suit your personality well.'

The small chuckle Noctis and Prompto shared had meant lot over the last couple of years where they were occupied with restoration of the capital city, Insomnia.

Gladiolus being busy with conquering back the territory of Lucis with his squadron of Glaive and Crownsguard being assigned for special task.

Some were appointed by Ignis Scientia, securing the souvenir of Coronation to the very of its end, Noctis Lucis Caelum.

Whereas, Niflheim elected their new King to be looked upon. Decided and voted by the majority of its own council.

The later days were hectic due to minor rebel that formed to oppose the thoughts of a Lucian being the one to be crowned as King though their rebel soon died due to the efforts this new king proved to show and result in advantage by proposing an offer to Lucis.

But despite many Nation had not forgiven all the evils and despair Niflheim brought. They had to keep their head low to avoid war once Niflheim n Lucis would unite.

With each minute that passed by the beauty that lied on sight of Noctis never waved or disturbed any moment till one of the dispatched security of the crownsguard came by to inform Noctis for the arrival of Niflheim Emperor.

Noctis along with Prompto walking by side were all the way led to front of entrance.

'This is what every Caelum had cherished for long they lived. The joy of unwanted struggle, need for a King to lead them where no threat arise.' Noctis whispered under his breath which died midway in the hallway with their Footstep noise.

Soon at the arrival of Noctis, Gladiolus joined the duo with a decent smile he showed to ensure that everything was checked twice and it was safe.

They stood in silence till the tall man decided to stir a little conversation.

'It's been too long we have not met in person with him. He probably must have missed us.'

Noctis nodded at agreement. It was true all along that Ignis opted in voluntarily to solve the matter and conflict arose within Niflheim and being the advisor of Lucis King.

It was a strategic decision everyway in Military as well as economic aspects.

Once the Ship arrived and slowed down above the landing zone.

Once the Emperor walked out of his ship, followed by Niflheim council... Noctis walked toward them to greet warmly.

'It has been so long Ignis. I hope your flight was a pleasing one!'

'Sure they did your Highness.' The Emperor of the Niflheim 'Ignis Scientia' bowed before Noctis yet he held a smile to meet his long companions after a long wait.

'You always don't forget your manners. Gosh you still are what we last saw of you Iggy. It's good to see ya back.'

Prompto and Gladiolus shared their part of happy moments to greet Ignis and gestured the Council with a half bow.

'Yes, it is good to be back. Well lets proceed shall we? The ceremony needs to begin with.'

The group chuckled but Ignis sighed at the child like behaviour and began to continue on.

'Thats the sole purpose of our gathering today. Our talks can wait a little longer than the majority of Nobles.'

'OK. Let us go in then.' Noctis stated and with his three companion walked into his chambers where he would likely be prepared for coronation and he knew Ignis would like him be looking his best in a fine Royal wearings.

After trying 15-20 suits, Ignis finally approved for Noctis choice which was likely black and was best suited for Coronation. 'You are ready and now you are one step closer to claim the throne.'

'Noct, You make us proud today and we will be by your side when people will hail you as king. It's a whole new experience and we are lucky to witness this.'

'Thanks Gladio. But there is one thing I won't ever tolerate.'

'huh?'

'You guys have to wear one dress too. It's not fair I suffer all along.'

'If you say so. Come on Prompt you too will join in won't ya!' Gladiolus patted on the blond shoulder so hard he lost his balance for mere second before sighing in approval.

'OK.'

The party enjoyed their little time till Gladiolus had his sized suit prepared, literally ripping those that failed to fit. Sarcasm apart, Prompto took the moment captured in his DSLR out of nowhere.

They shared the same black wear attire perfectly settled down and gleaming the royalty they had behold . They marched towards the Majestic hall in unison.

Throne Room, Citadel -Insomnia

'May I represent you Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum and Niflheim Lord Ignis Scientia.'

On the call of the Jester. Warlords, Council, Priest and Bishop focused their vision to the grand door. Noctis walked his way to the throne accompanied by Ignis by his side and Prompto with Gladiolus walking behind them to provide certain unwanted assistance.

Each Royal family related to caelum stood aside the way and praising the Lords walk on the onyx floor.

Noblemans and their ladies all bowed at a time to the Prince and his company. Princess trying their best method to gain his majesty attention but the main goal of most Noble with their daughter were to seduce the young lord into trap for all heritage he was bestowed with.

Though none were allowed to meet the Prince yet.

Noctis took a deep breath before ascending over the steps leading to his throne. The council were applauding their best and people who remained out of Citadel and various cities, country, nations were watching in awe. The whole ceremony had a glimpse of a fairy tale come true.

'Noctis, It is time you claim what was yours since birth. Your father would have been proud to have you take over his place.'

The words Ignis spoke made Noctis lost but wake in a sense. He had a Nation to Rule and his father would want him to be wise. And each step Noctis took the more he came into realization. He was no more a prince but a King.

Starring at the throne he recalled all those words he last spoke before summoning the ring of Lucii.

'I'm home now... I walk tall...'

'Oh it took me a while, but I'm ready now.'

'I love you all. Luna, guys... , dad!'

With one final step to hold the silence took place and no sound echoed after the Bishop stated the beginning of coronation.

The sudden speech came out of Bishop waked the Prince from his thought of train. Gathering every person attention and asking the Prince to face all the people who stayed in silence. All eyes darted at the prince.

'Lord Caelum. Will you vow these words and carry your family name till the last breath and new heir to this throne? '

'I do! '

'Are you willing to proceed and claim the throne of the Lucii and it's noble ring carried by yours n only yours ancestor? '

'I do! '

'And with the final statement will you make a very own amendment to the people? '

Not once Noctis thought was need to question for what he was about to say. At last Noctis nodded in confirmation and raised his voice to be audible enough.

'I Noctis Lucis Caelum. Hereby accept the right to ascend the throne of Lucis and carry Ring of Lucii. Hence bring harmony and prospect in our nation.'

Confirming the last of Noctis. The Bishop chanted holy words and deemed for the blessing of Eos for the bright future of Prince Noctis.

With the short amendment the surge that flowed among the people was clearly responded with the highest of praising and applause.

'All hail the King! Long live the King!'

Chanting and blessing his Highness. The now so called King Noctis Lucis Caelum. With a crown on top of Noctis and Ring of Lucii placed in his ring finger.

'That is not all people of Lucis and Niflheim. Now it is time to begin another ceremony of peace and signing the treaty between the King and Emperor.

'I would be please if Lord Ignis join us on this very platform and announce it to the whole Eos.'

On call of his presence, Ignis walked tall towards the King and stood beside him. They were at the final end to conquer what was needed.

'IIgnis Scientia. Pledge my words and devotion to people of Niflheim as their Future King and bring peace with Kingdom of Lucis as ally.'

The dawn of the new world once lost in darkness. When demons crawled over land and inevitable war never stopped till Niflheim conquered it all only to lose in the end.

Son of the Dawn. Heir of King Regis, who faced the worst of humanity. Lost his love, the father who had raised him, albeit protected him from the threats.

Noctis Lucis Caelum was now the crowned King and it was the beginning of new era free of Starscourge, the conflicts, pointless wars for the crystal that was now a past.

Eos may have had died but her legacy remained in this world. Noctis was her beloved creation and it was her intention to oppose the goddess of death, Etro.

And according to the prophecy one must avail the secret any moment to fulfil the calling.

Noctis stood chilled with his friends. Meeting the so called royals who blessed and gave their regards. Some tried to perk with the King proposing Noctis to marry their one and only daughter to carry the prestigious name. But the offer was shrugged one by one with honesty and politeness. This meeting was getting out of hands when people questioned about King Noctis announcement where he would start looking for a bride to become the queen they would need for the future generation of caelum to rule.

Each Warlords of both Nation shared their tales of war and how they want to be assigned to councils.

Nobles conversed with each other and talking the interest of business and political affairs with most known politician who were favored the most.

Some princess were successive in asking Noctis a moment to speak and bluffed how they praised all the heroic efforts he made without anyone help to which he arched his brow in annoyance because it was his friends after all the time he struggled over and over to claim the birth right.

'Noctis can we talk for a brief moment?' Ignis had a look of concern when Noctis finalized to end the conversation he held with some random girl name Stella. Her family carried the name of fleuret from long lived times of Caelum dynasty.

'Pardon me Stella! Maybe next time we could have our conversation continued on better term. It was a honor for you to pay us a visit. Please greet your family our regards.'

'Yes, King Noctis! Take care.' With the final bow Stella actioned, she immediately left the Citadel.

'Noctis, you know of her intention right!'

'If you mean we should be worrying about her than I don't think so. She is a puppet that's all.

'Shouldn't it be the opposite right now. Instead of worrying try to enjoy the party Iggy.' Prompto joined after girls had stopped advancing their approach when Iggy and Noctis talked.

'Thanks for reminder but it's better for me staying on designated task. We have confirmation that in few hours Tenebrae will begin to march the escort via land transport to Accordo.'

The three remained silent and walked their way to outside far from the crowd to the balcony where a little less people had been hanging to observe the beautiful night when the stars shined bright and the moon glowed with full brightness.

'They seem desperate about what we have planned for long...!' The walk to the nearby benches on the side of flowerbeds remained unoccupied and were took under the position of both royalty.

'How fast can we assemble the Izunia?'

'You want to send Izunia? Are you drunk Noctis! It would be a massacre if we send them. You of most knows the previous result!' Prompto protested the will of Noctis after his previous experience which was devastating when Izunia almost blew a whole lots of infrastructure.

'Like I did not notice. And it's my command to you Ignis. Let show them a little of Izunia so they have to force a full strike next time.'

'Give me an hour! and I'll have the escort end up in your chamber for interrogation.'

'Hey, not fair! It's my task. I Prompto Argentum on behalf of Ignis will lead Izunia. You both stay here and losen up.'

Not able to conclude what the King and Emperor should do, they approved to Prompto request.

'OK then Prompto! Ignis will fill the details for you and make sure nothing gets screwed up when you ordered recklessly.'

With that Ignis and Prompto left the Halls and got to the preparation for the covert mission. And this time Noctis would have this opportunity to prove his leadership and capability to lead the Kingdom without petty oppositions.

'Hey Noct, come in! There are some things that we got to take care of.'

Noctis joined Gladiolus and talked with the lords who they deemed worthy of being appointed for the council and interrogating the politician and a couple of cooperation that would be used to have an link to Niflheim business.

'Lords, Nobles and Politicians! In honor of the old Council which passed long ago. You of all have been elected to come on next Friday to fulfil the demands to have absolute control over the Kingdom and activities that our enemy has to execute in the upcoming so called desperate situation. Hereby nominating you as new council.'

The gathered people nodded in agreement and to their amusement were the last to leave the palace after 2 hours of discussion with joy they felt by being part of Council.

'You are doing good right now Noctis!'

'I guess so Gladio. I will make everything normal like before.'

'Or maybe better than that.'

'Yah!!'

Damn, Guys I hope you will love the efforts in this fiction. That's all I have to say Ciao!
